Ah got it. TIL the naming convention used for functions like of 
file-name-as-directory.

I also modified the patch a little to cater for 
`dired-maybe-insert-subdir` (see 
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2024-08/msg00033.html) 
and to include a couple of tests.

May be worth noting, the following dired.el comment seemed
outdated 
https://github.com/emacs-mirror/emacs/blob/c7d9cd722e5a7042a52c92f8497f903bfe9870b8/lisp/dired.el#L1805

 ;; Note that dired-build-subdir-alist will replace the name
 ;; by its expansion, so it does not matter whether what we insert
 ;; here is fully expanded, but it should be absolute.

The mentioned replacement doesn't take place when using 
`dired-maybe-insert-subdir`, so I tweaked the comment. Setting 
invisible property is now needed in two places (to handle current 
location and now subdirs).

Please take a look at the latest patch. Happy to go with a 
different direction if preferred.
